Difference between Sold Subject to Contract and Under Offer

mangled

Well I have had information today that exchange of contracts on the house happens this Friday.

So clearly the change to SSTC from Under Offer - did mean something with this particular estate agent

L21P

The house we bought was under offer within an hour of our offer being accepted and was changed to STC once the EA had some details from us a few days later - like evidence of deposit and a AIP that cover the rest. However some local EA only ever used STC so don't read too much into it.

'Sale Agreed', 'Under Offer' and 'Sold Subject to Contract' generally all mean the same thing. It's up to the EA to choose whichever they like best.

The Property Ombudsman says:

“In my view, ‘Sale Agreed’, ‘Under Offer’ and ‘Sold Subject to Contract’ all propose the same, that the seller has accepted an offer on the property, that is, a sale has been agreed, but contracts are not yet exchanged.

“‘Sold’ should only be used once contracts have been exchanged.”

Ours had 'Reserved'  all the time it was it was SSTC until completion .  So that's another way of saying the same thing.
